Speech Title: Research in Highly Automated Systems Using Experimental Model System
Abstract: Development of industrial and commercial products towards integration in wide context, system based operation, autonomous functions, and active utilization of intellectual property extended the application of fundamental, problem oriented, and product related research at everyday engineering. In the meantime, engineering modeling environments were developed towards flexibly configurable multidisciplinary and research eligible platforms with comprehensive range of modeling and simulation apps. This makes development of system level, contextually autonomous, multidisciplinary, theory-experience based, and generic experimental model system (EMS) possible. EMS serves as experimental research configuration in which research results are suitably embedded to facilitate development, analysis, and verification of results in advanced virtual environment. The EMS solution is considered as great step towards future engineering and it is anticipated to replace conventional laboratory configurations at wide range of research programs at institutions and universities. As contribution to EMS methodology and application, my talk will be about new results in model mediated research (MMR) and realization of MMR using model organized research project (MORP) at our virtual research laboratory (VRL). Main issues in my talk will be as follows. Multilevel organized context structure will be introduced for the purpose intelligent driving of object parameters in integrated model. Developing strategies such as model organized integration of design engineering (DE) with systems engineering (SE), and situation awareness based recognition driven decision on physical operations in cyber physical systems will be considered. The next issue will be a modified general model and a general content structure of engineering process for the purpose of MMR development. This will be followed by introduction of MORP by its structure and VRL by research process, resources, and research specific participant roles. Finally, possible connection of VRL with cyber unit controlled and sensor reported physical units will be discussed to complete EMS with physical experiments. VRL is configured as independent platform at the Óbuda University in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform operated by the Dassult Systémes. S. A.

Speech Title: From Objects Detection to Improving Road Information Recognition Based on Deep Learning Models
Abstract: Traffic sign identification is necessary for a real-world application, including traffic control, autonomous driving, driver protection, traffic accident investigations, and road service. In traffic sign recognition systems (TSRS), two related items are detection and recognition. Further, traffic sign recognition (TSR) offers valuable knowledge for smart cars, including advanced driving assistance (ADAS) and cooperative intelligent transport systems (CITS) guidance and warnings. However, traffic signs are challenging to detect using an exact and real-time approach in practical autonomous driving scenes. Identifying small traffic signs is a challenging issue in object recognition, and its precision accuracy in the detection process is crucial to protecting an intelligent transportation system (ITS). This talk will propose an identification of traffic signs with adjustable anchors. Further, the SPP principle is utilized to upgrade the object detection method's backbone and extract features. Moreover, we adopt the SPP to learning object features more completely. First, at the detection stage, our work implements a color-based detection method to detect the sign in the image with various target sizes. Next, deep learning uses TSR employing spatial pyramid pooling (SPP) with scale and weight analysis. Finally, we evaluated our proposed methods on the Belgium traffic sign dataset (BTSD) and Taiwan traffic sign dataset (TWTSD). The experiment results show that our method upgrades the achievement of all experimental models.

Speech Title: The Quantum Information Theory by High Precision Fourier-spectral Method
Abstract: Superposition of states leading to the entanglement of states is one of the important ingredients of quantum information theory. In this talk, starting with the basic concepts of quantum information theory, the nonlinear effects resulting from the interaction and the tunneling effects resulting from the quantum kinematics are evaluated focusing on the superposition of states being associated with the quantum coherence/decoherence. Based on the high precision Fourierspectral method, a class of nonlinear superposition principle is demonstrated by the Klein-Gordon type scalar field.
